Maybe 6-7 years ago I would have said "Hey, this is an up-to-date and features-rich IDE." But this project is dead. Though wxDev-C++ has been added as a separate project to make Dev-C++ capable of GUI-design, it still doesn't mean you should use it. Dev-C++ is a project that hasn't seen an update since 2005. I can't say that it's not a useful IDE. The main problem (despite all those known and unfixed bugs) is the huge amount of missing features that modern IDEs provide to make the work of a programmer easier and more delightful. For those of you, who say "Wait a minute! Dev-C++ works just fine!", I'd answer - it depends and considering that it covers the bare minimum, it's much better to use an advanced text editor like Notepad++ in combination with gcc (MinGW or Cygwin for Windows) instead, if you don't want cool modern features. Not to mention there is Geany, Code::Blocks, NetBeans etc.

Great project, i have use Dev-C++ for a year now. Keep up the good works guys.

Yes, great software and one of the best features is an ability to read and edit files from other developers.

Dev-CPP is a very good little compiler. It is simple to configure and to use. I have used it to teach programming for a number of years. The only shortcoming is that development seems to have stopped.

My first IDE.
If you want to learn the basics I would say Dev-C++ should still be your first choice, people still use CVS and they kept everything simple. Less IDE overhead means less confusion and more focus on the core of the language.
(I hope they weren't secretly bought out by some large corporation, but I guess that could be a good thing.)
Merchandising would be a big plus - like t-shirts, mugs, and mouse pads.

This project was very helpful tool to me on the early period of mine, to the programming world. I learned lot of theories and practices and gained lot of skills by using this.
I like to thanks the developers and all the participants who help to develop this tool.

Simple user interface! It's not heavy program. It works well. I use this program instead of visual studio when I make c or c++ program.
